Very little has gone wrong.
The ABS light came on sometimes, and that was fixed at no cost.
The plastic on the console cracked and was replaced with a nicer one, my cost.
Other than that, it was perfect.
Most fun you can have with your clothes on!!
This car was a blast to drive. It was very fun in the twisties, and was easy on gas.
What made me buy another though, was what happened when I crashed. I was on a freeway through the mountains, when I sneezed. Yes sneezed... I zigged a little to the right, and my rt front went off the road. I honestly do not remember what happened next. A truck driver behind me said that wheel hit a rock, or pothole, and the car went a wee sideways. Over-correction followed, and I ended up cart-wheeling, yes, cartwheeling, 3 times. The center of my hood was whacked by a snow fence post, which ended the journey as it flipped me back onto the wheels. The truck driver slammed onto his brakes. He expected to be pulling my carcass from a burning wreck. No such luck. About the only piece of straight metal was the drivers side door. All air bags had deployed. I opened the door and walked away. I had a little powder burn on my temple. I bought another GTI within a couple weeks.
When you are driving too fast for conditions, it doesn't take much to make you run off the road and overturn, as you found out.
